Voluntary and community groups across Lichfield and Burntwood are being invited to apply for funding to help them deliver their services.
The Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) programme covers the next three years and is designed to support organisations working with residents to enhance their lives.
A total of £163,000 per year is available, with a minimum award of £1,000 per year for successful applicants. Maximum awards are expected to be £50,000 each year.
Cllr Richard Cox, Lichfield District Council’s cabinet member for community engagement, said:
“We are fortunate to have a wide network of established, committed voluntary and community groups here that are vital to the wellbeing of many people.
“Our emerging 2050 Strategy aims to deliver confident, prosperous, active and green communities and the VCS funding programme will provide vital support to the voluntary sector in support of this aim.
“We look forward to receiving applications from any organisation that can make an impact and help create a positive legacy for the district.”
Cllr Richard Cox, Lichfield District Council
